Dizzy Nuts died on spot in a hit and run accident at Kireka, a city suburb, on Monday, an incident that was reportedly intended to take the life of singer Moses Ssali, alias Bebe Cool.

It is reported that he had gone to perform with Bebe Cool, at Victoria Pub when a speeding Toyota Harrier vehicle knocked him as he was talking to the latter who was seated inside his car.

Another friend, Hassan Kato, who was injured in the same incident, is reportedly receiving treatment in Kampala.

At the burial, Dizzy Nuts was eulogized as a disciplined, talented, intelligent and principled musician by artistes, friends and family.
